The contracting office clarified that the acquisition is subject to DFARS 252.225-7001 (Alternate II), Buy American and Balance of Payments Program. Foreign end products from non-qualifying countries, including China, will receive a 50 percent evaluation factor added to their quoted price during evaluation.
